Counter-Storytelling Speaking Engagements Counter-storytelling (Solorzano & Yosso, 2002) is defined as a method of telling the stories of historically marginalized groups, specifically within education. Counter-stories are constructed through research data, existing literature (both traditional and nontraditional texts), and the researcher’s professional and personal experiences. The value of counter-storytelling lies in the power of naming one’s own reality (Delgado, 1995) rather than having it designated and told from the perspective of another, a likely dominant other.
